Mr. Bisquit I like the second configuration of your Stutz, the low door job. And I REALLY like the stop/directional license plate holder. It would look good on my DB!
hey guy can anyone tell me if a model B distributer has a bigger body OD. then a model A. I put a new (OLD) head on my car fri. night and the stock distributer is very sloppy it needs a 1/16th shim toline up with the side bolt. Or is my head just Junk thanks for any help Bill
thanks bob was working on the old girl this weekend checking clearances there aint much room in a27tee roadster pickup engine bay heaven knows where the exhaust will go have just about got the quickchange and overdrive setup all bolted together on the chrome diff i will put that in and try it first oh the way you can spend money on these things
anyone know about putting an oldsmobile or such head on a model a 4 banger, to convert it to overhead? My dad was talking about it,but do not know what year olds and what engine they heads came off of.. There is a black a roadster that goes to the hill climbs in california witha subaru head,i believe they spliced 4 heads to make one head...He always runs a full hood wont let u see under it.... Also anyone hook a 39/40 ford box to a 4 banger,did u use an adapter plate? Thanks for your time and input
Believe the b banger will bolt up to your a trans and frame, unless im mistaken..... pM Me I will ask my dad,he will know
I think Pete Ardema here in so cal made the first subaru head setup for a bonneville car he used 2 heads end to end to do it. I think most of his stuff went up with the last fires we had here. as for 39 trans they make an adapter to bolt a 39 trans to a banger, I use a 32 bell housing and a B box with 48 gears out of side shift trans. the olds head is a 3 port and adapts to a banger as well as the thunderbolt 28 chev head there is quite a bit about them in back banger meets. hope this helps ya I have pics if neeeded Ken
Neal Jern makes a nice looking kit to put a Chevy or Olds 4 cylinder head on an A/T block. [email protected]. I think they are 1928 or so heads
The Chev two port head is the easiest to find. They are also the most suited to adapting to Ford blocks especially if you want to retain the standard distributor location, they came out in '28 only but are really common in earlier Chevs as they were a popular replacement for the one port heads which were prone to cracking. Three ports were available on 43A Oldsmobile from 1919 to 1923. My three port came off a Chev FB which were available roughly the same time as the Olds. My three port was cast in 1921.
SU cfm's for ya. Taken from a Dave Vizard book. 1-1/4" H2 S.U. 110 1-1/2" H4 S.U. 133 1-1/2" HS4 S.U. 142 1-3/4" HS6 S.U. 210 1 3/4" HIF6 S.U. 240
There was 1 or 2 articles about Floyd Hughes Misubitchi (not sure of spelling but this is close enough) conversion in the FAST magazine. He had a heart attack and passed away on his last pass at the 66 hillclimb a couple of years ago. Just pulled over at the top of the hill and that was it. He had done some work with an Izuzu head before the "M".
thank u for the information on the head conversion, I will try and do more research thanks again Btw what is your 4 banger set ups and what mileage do u get? ohv,flathead,carb setup,trans,rear end gears,overdrive ect... I know of a 28 coupe in shade tree a's in think in georgia got 22-24 mpg thank u for your time
Thats a pretty big arm ya got there, Simon. It's not one of those Chinese cranks, is it? That celophane front seal wont be worth a damn, though.
Well, 4 days of 85-90 deg. weather was well worth it. Put up a makeshift canopy and away we went each day! Almost there!... Almost done!!
If anyone is looking for a 28 chevy head, I have (1) one left that Im selling and I have a single port 25 Chevy head which has the rocker assemblies and other parts that fit to Olds 3-port head. It has 1.5 ratio rockers stock.
perfect! thanks for the info! im going to be giving my banger head a hair cut to clean it up and i figure id better make it worth my while, how much can i safely take off? chris was saying around .010, is that all?
anyone have a link to a good thread on model T engines with th400 clutch? My friend has a cool speedster with model T running a A crank a th400 clutch and a 37 chevy trany thanks Bill
